2017 BMW X3 SDRIVE28I

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with damage concentrated around the left front headlamp, hood corner, fender, and bumper cover. The left front headlamp assembly is severely damaged, with broken or missing outer sections and exposed internal projector components and openings. The left front fender has moderate deformation and a pronounced crease around the headlamp and upper wheel-arch area. The left front corner of the hood is also deformed along its leading edge. Below the headlamp, the bumper cover is separated from the adjacent body panel, leaving an open gap, and a rectangular bumper cover or trim piece is missing. A broad moderate dent and crease extends across the lower-middle section of the left front door. The available findings do not establish whether there is damage behind the visible panels or to the underlying mounting points, lighting system, suspension, steering, or safety systems. These areas should be physically inspected before repair or purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i Sport Utility Vehicle with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. It was manufactured in the United States. The recall records include a water-pump electrical-connector recall covering 2013–2017 X3 sDrive28i vehicles (campaign 24V608000). The stated remedy is inspection or replacement of the water pump and connector as necessary, along with installation of a protective shield. A child-seat lower-anchor recall also covers certain 2011–2017 X3 sDrive28i vehicles (campaign 16V333000), subject to the vehicle’s production date and equipment. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with BMW. The other listed recalls concern diesel X3 xDrive28d vehicles or an xDrive28i vehicle and may not apply to this decoded gasoline sDrive28i.
